Here’s Your Permission to take a BREAK!

Here’s Your Permission to take a BREAK!

I’m tired this afternoon. There, I said it. It’s almost 2pm and I’m tired. I’ve HAPPILY & PRODUCTIVELY worked 14 hour days back to back. Have work multiple “hats” during that time, and now I’m tired.

So,

I’m taking a break this afternoon.

And it’s okay.

I have no inner voice telling me, “I’d better do this or I will fall behind,” or “I’d better do that,” or “stop being lazy,” or any of that bullshit.

I have set free judgement.

I have set free this asinine idea that if I sit still or If I create some peace that I am wasting time.

Instead I know that if I want to continue to be HAPPY & PRODUCTIVE in my life, in my marriage, in my motherhood, in my friendships and in my business, I need breaks, re-charges, rejuvenations, disconnects, meditations….naps even!

Trying to PUSH my way through my obvious awareness that I need a break only breeds resentment, exhaustion, illness, detachment and poor performance 😉😉😉if ya know what i mean, in the long run.

Ok, I meant work performance….

Didn’t I?

Okay moving on.

I’ve been there.

Resentful. Exhausted. Ill. Detached.

Don’t like it.

Became aware.

Understood.

Changed that part of my life/thinking.

I’ve nothing to prove.

Fireworks aren’t being set off for me when i don’t take breaks, if anything I’m burning my fuse towards a dud.

I don’t like being a dud.

I didn’t need a break the last few days.

Today I do.

So, I will honor what my body, my gift, is asking for and give back to it.
